On October 1st last, we filed program creation requests with the ministry. We have to establish academic and administrative policies to get those requests approved. We've begun to define our academic policies. We want the university to the open, and we don't want any barriers to entry for the students, particularly those who may have followed a somewhat different curriculum.
We've already prepared a draft policy on the recognition of credentials, admission policies and academic standards that student applicants must meet to enter the university. It's these kinds of policies that demonstrate the university's openness or lack thereof. Once we had designed our policies, we took into account the need to demonstrate openness and the needs of the region, society and francophones.
